A CORRUPT and criminal gang that did not
hesitate to forge and mutilate tally-sheets to
accomplish their purposes, will not hesitate to
do any scoundrelly thing to aid them now in
the work of capturing the city government
and in securing seeming "vindication" of
their crime of last November. Men who will
use knives and acids to steal the franchise
from a free people will not be deferred from
purchasing afidavits, if they can get them,
making any kind of charges against Repub-
lican candidates in the last hours of the cam
paign. Criminals, who are under Indictment
for the tally-sheet forgeries, will not hesitate
to copy the "Morey letter" tactics of the cam
paign of 1880, and attempt to impose upon
the people by any sort of lying roorback.
Voters should be prepared for anything under
the sun to-day and tomorrow in the way of
forgeries and frauds. Whatever may be done

night at Tomlinson Hall.

Mr.. WILLIAM HENDERSON has the courage
of his convictions. The abuse heaped on him
by the Sentinel does not alter the fact that he
is one of our oldest and most respected citi-
zens and a lifelong Democrat His reasons
for voting for Denny for Mayor, which we
print in another column, are worthy of care
full consideration by Democrats who like him
self, look beneath and beyond the surface of
things. Although Democrat Mr.. Hender-
son is not prepared to sacrifice his convictions
as an honest man nor stultify himself by vot-
ing for a man who distinctly and en- phatically
represents the worst elements of society,
against man who stands for law and order.
No stronger arraignment of the Coy gang has
been made than this by lifelong Democrat.
One point is worthy of special notice. It is
that the success of the gang will have a very
damaging effect on the Democratic party
throughout the State There is not a parti-
Gle of doubt of this, and Mr.. Henderson is sa-
gacious enough to see it. From strictly
partisan point of view the Journal could de-
sire nothing better than the success of the
Coy gang for future effect in State politics;
but we prefer the present salvation of the city
from such disaster.

TO BUSINESS MEN AND NON-PARTISANS.
There is in this city considerable body of
voters who ordinarily take only languid in
terest in politics, and are not closely identified
with either party. Party ties. if they have
any, sit very loosely on them. They are
more interested in business than they are in
politics, yet at heart they are thoroughly in
favor of honest politics, good government and
the enforcement Of law and order. Some of
them may lean to the Republican side, others
to the Democratic side; but they not par
sans and are not Sin politics" To all such
the election tomorrow will afford an oppor-
tunity prove their good citizenship. There
never was an election that involved less of
political partisanship in the ordinary sense.
The issues are far more important than those
involved in ordinary city election. 1t may
present partisan aspect to partsans but to
the much larger body of citizens who are not
actively engaged in politics, it presents a
much broader aspect, and one that involves
the fundamental principles of good govern
ment and good citizenship. Mr.. Denny is not
Edenharter simply as a Democrat. The
former represents the elements and forces
that go to make city orderly, respected and
prosperous, while the latter represents exactly
the opposite. Mr.. Denny represents the cause
of law and order, DR.. Edenharter the cause of
lawlessness and crime. One represents the
conservative forces of society, the other the
destructive forces; one the sober, Industrious,
productive classes, the other the reckless, ir-
responsible and criminal classes. Between
these in all American cities there is an ire
pressible conflict. 1t is the great problem of
municipal government that cannot be evaded
without cowardice, nor rightly solved except
by the united efforts of all good citizens in the
cause of good government. If the business
men and non-partisan voters, who are more
interested in good government than they are
in party politics, will do their duty tomorrow
the city will be saved the disgrace of falling
under the control Of Sim Coy and his gang.

BANK SUPERINTENDENT PAINE, of New
York, whose opinion in financial matters
ought to be worth something, says there is no
want of money in New York city, but a hest
tation exists to loan it on securities which are
ordinarily available. This want of conf
dence, Mr.. Paine thinks, originates in the
initiation of the currency by the coinage of
silver without reference to its intrinsic value,
as we'll as in the continuance in existence of
the legal-tender notes which should have been
called in by the government and paid or
funded. This initiation has caused the invest
ment of large sums of money in enterprises
that have not paid, and will not pay for a
long time, any dividends. Such employment
of capital has given a check to trade gen.
orally. Financial theories are always in
order, and this one goes for what it is worth

AFEw WORDS TO HONEST DEMOCRATS.

The meeting at Tomlinson Hall Saturday
night did not represent the best element of
the Democratic party. 1t may have repre-
sented the most numerous element, but not
the best. We say this in face of the fact that
ex-senator Mcdonald, Governor Gray and
Congressman Bynum were present and made
speeches indorsing Sim Coy and his acts.
The speakers did not lift Coy up by doing
this they let themselves down. So of the
audience-it did not represent the best ele-
ments of the party. 1t was composed of
Democrats who are in politics or who expect
to profit directly or indirectly by a partisan
victory. All these, like the speakers who ad-
dressed the meeting, will vote the party
ticket. They are afraid to do otherwise.
They must maintain their party standing in
order to get future honors and rewards. 1t
is political necessity with them to stand by
the party machine and management In the
present case that means Sim Coy. Nobody
questions the right of Mr.. Mcdonald, Gov
ernor Gray and Congressman Bynum to ap-

THE monopolies and pools which are the
characteristic features of modern commerce
are not simply demonstrations of the power of
capital and the tyranny of wealth. Men are
no greedier now than they have always been,
nor is money any more usurping. Combina-
tons are the natural outgrowth of the present
conditions of production. The use of machin-
cry necessarily groups workingmen. No man
now makes whole watch. He perhaps
polishes one wheel. The completed watch is
the product of the labor of hundred hands,
and the united force of this hundred men is
guided and directed by the brains or capital
of one proprietor. That lie should combine
with other manufactures is natural and con-
sequent. And if, being associated, they
proceed to put price their products, and
agree not to undersell each other they are
only doing. on another scale, what all trades
unions bind their members to. The trouble
is that such combinations cannot be universal.
Some classes of labor are helpless. When all
the manufacturers, and doctors, and preach
ers. and printers shall have formed unions,
each after his kind, and set their prices to
meet their mutual demands, there still re-
main farmers, the largest producers of all.
who cannot possibly unite If they could
combine, and preachers and housekeepers
would do the same, things might adjust them
selves equitably enough. This being out of
the question: they caught between the
upper and neither mill stones. Fortunately,
however, they have living chance in the fact
that all monopolies are self-destroying. Sooner
or later one member of the combination breaks
faith, and the whole thing falls to pieces.

pear before public audience and distinctly
superintended the tally-sheet forgeries last
fall; the man who planned and superintendent
the breaking open of a ballot with a
Ratchet, and then said, 'by - we have got
our man in;" the man who for three years
past has devoted all his time to organizing the
hummer element and planning election frauds;
the man who has made Democratic politics of
Indianapolis stencil throughout the State and
whose name has become a synonym for politi-
cal corruption. We say Messrs. Mcdonald,
Gray and Bynum had perfect right to make
public profession of faith in this man and in
dorse him and his acts, and being profession
al politicians they might not have been ex-
pected to do otherwise. But it does not
change his status one iota. To honest Demo
Gratis who were neither present nor represent
ed at the meeting Saturday night, we say:
Do you not know, as matter of history,
that the tally-sheets in the election last fall
were altered by erasure and acids, so as to
count out two Republicans who were elected
and count in two Democrats who were not
elected
Do you doubt that this fraud was planned,
superintendent and assisted by Sim CoyP
Do you not know that he and his cocoon
spirators in this business only escaped the pen

they are still under indictment for the crime9
Do you doubt that DR.. Edenharter is his
creature and tool and that his candidacy rep
resents Coyism and nothing elseg
Do you not know that once in the Council
when Edenharter attempted for moment to
assert his independence, Coy said: 'Shut up,
you id migrate, made you what you are,
and Edenharter did shut up?
Do you doubt that the election of Eden
harter will be not only a triumph Of Coyism
with all that that implies, but will also>b

Do you doubt that such result would be

Democrats who are in politics know all this
as we'll as anybody. but they are bound to in
dorse Coy by voting the party ticket. Many
of them in their hearts would be- glad to have
Edenharter defeated as a means of getting rid
of Coy, but they dare not vote against him.
Honest Democrats who are not in politics,
and who are convinced that the public welfare
requires the defeat of the Coy gang, should
vote accordingly. We do not ask them to as

We ask them to assist in saving it from
